This is a graph of the tritium (HTO) concentration in fallout at the Albany County Health Department. You can view other years by changing the "Sample date" filter and typing in the year you wish to view. You can view the concentration of other isotopes by changing the "Isotope" filter, Increases in concentration during March and April 2011 is due to the Fukushima accident. Increases in concentration that do not have a comment are within normal ranges. A column has been added for values which can be graphed. Readings where a less than value is displayed show a value that is less than the detection limit of the measurement method and are essentially equivalent to 0. Variations in detection limit are due to variations in sample collection and measurement instrument performance.

This chart shows the counts of Creating Healthy Places interventions by intervention type. Creating Healthy Places to Live Work and Play (CHP2LWP) is a joint five year grant (October 2010 – October 2015) of New York State Department of Health’s Division of Chronic Disease Prevention and Division of Nutrition. The Purpose of the initiative is to implement community level interventions to promote healthy lifestyles to prevent obesity and type 2 diabetes. Twenty-two communities across New York State are funded to carry out this initiative. From a list of 18 policy, systems and environmental interventions, community contractors selected a minimum four to implement. The 18 interventions are grouped into five, broad activity categories. The activities include two that are related to increasing opportunities for physical activity, two that address improving nutrition, and one that addresses both physical activity and nutrition.

The chart shows observed vs. expected Potentially Preventable Readmission rates by hospital for Medicaid enrollees in 2013.
The Potentially Preventable Readmission (PPR) software created by 3M Health Information Systems, identifies hospital admissions clinically related to an initial admission within a specified time period. For this dataset, readmissions were evaluated within a 30-day time period from the discharge date of the initial hospital admission. A PPR may have resulted from a deficiency in the process of care and treatment at the initial hospitalization or lack of post discharge follow up. PPRs are not defined by unrelated events that occur post-discharge, such as admissions for trauma.
For each hospital, the total number of at risk admissions, the total number of observed PPR chains, the observed PPR rate, the expected PPR rate, and risk adjusted PPR rate are presented by year.

A health tracking indicator is a metric through which progress on a certain area of health improvement can be assessed. The indicators are organized by the Priority Area of the Prevention Agenda as well as the Focus Area under each Priority Area. Each dataset includes tracking indicators for the five Priority Areas of the Prevention Agenda 2013-2017. The most recent year dataset includes the most recent county level data for all indicators. The trend dataset includes the most recent county level data and historical data, where available. Each dataset also includes the Prevention Agenda 2017 state targets for the indicators.

This column chart shows fertility rates by county and the New York State total fertility rate for 2012. A fertility rate is defined as the annual number of live births per 1,000 female
population aged 15-44.
The New York State Department of Health, processes data from certificates of live births recorded in New York State Exclusive of New York City. Through a cooperative agreement, the New York State Department
of Health receives data on live births recorded in New York City from the New York City Department of Health and on live births recorded outside of New York State to residents of New
York State from other states and Canada. In tabulating vital events for cities and villages with 10,000 or more population, the problem of small frequencies occurs. Statistics based on a small number of vital events are subject to a large degree of variability and inferences should be made with care.

This chart shows the percentage of adults who report current asthma by county. The orange bars represent the 95% confidence intervals. The dotted line represents the statewide percentage of adults with current asthma. The questionnaire used for the survey can be found in the attachments section under the "About" tab. Data from the 2013-2014 New York Expanded Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (eBRFSS) Survey were used to generate percentages of non-institutionalized adult (18+) NYS residents for 49 health indicators. Health domains covered include:
Improve health status and reducing health disparities;
Promote a healthy and safe environment;
Prevent chronic diseases; Prevent HIV/STDs, vaccine preventable diseases and healthcare-associated infections;
Promote healthy women, infants, and children; and
Promote mental health and prevention substance abuse.
Percentages for this wide range of public health metrics are provided as both unadjusted and age-adjusted rates for counties and regions.
The eBRFSS is a random digit dialing (RDD) phone survey of the health status and health behaviors of adult NYS residents. The eBRFSS is designed to provide estimates of health indicators at the county level. The sample covers 31,690 completed interviews conducted between April 2013 and March 2014.

You can view the concentration of a other isoptopes by changing the "Isoptope" filter. Increases in concentration during March and April 2011 is due to the Fukushima accident. Increases in concentration that do not have a comment are within normal ranges. A column has been added for values which can be graphed. Readings where a less than value is displayed show a value that is less than the detection limit of the measurement method and are essentially equivalent to 0. Variations in detection limit are due to variations in sample collection and measurement instrument performance.

This chart displays the regional averages for selected quality measures. The New York State Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI) is an annual evaluation and ranking of eligible Medicaid-certified nursing homes in New York State. Nursing homes are evaluated on their performance in three components: Quality, Compliance, and Efficiency. Nursing homes are awarded points for their performance in each measure and ranked into overall quintiles, the first quintile containing the best performing homes. Refer to the Measures document to learn more about the specific measures in the NHQI, and the data sources and time frames used. Changes in measure specifications and the deletion or addition of measures will limit the ability to trend this data over time. The quality measures are based on past data and may not accurately reflect a nursing home’s most current quality performance. Refer to the Overview document for more information on the limitations of this dataset. The information in this dataset is intended to be used in conjunction with other sources for assessing quality of care in nursing homes, including in-person visits to a nursing home.
